ABOUT THE AREA
OURA
At 5min from the Villa, you can access the well-known and popular Oura Street, full of bars, restaurants and shops, full of excitement and early nightlife.
Oura beach with its long sandy beach is one of the best-known beaches in the whole Algarve. Those looking to feel the warmth of summer and all its surroundings, find here the ideal place.
However and if you are looking for a more relaxing holiday and Portuguese culture then we advise the old part of the reservoir.

The surrounding streets are also a delight, you can find a wide range of shops, from craft, clothing and leather shops, there are also many more restaurants and bars between shops so there is never a shortage of places to eat and drink!
There are two main beaches in the old town, Fisherman's Beach and Tunnel Beach, which are usually crowded with tourists during the bathing season.
Albufeira is also known for the quantity and quality of its beaches, being the county awarded with more blue flags.

Family Holiday

Helena was an exceptional host. She met us on our arrival to show us around the villa etc despite it being late into the evening due to airport passport control delays. She came mid week to clean the pool and then came to say goodbye on our departure day. She was always available if there was anything we needed. The Villa was so well equipped with everything we needed and our little granddaughter was fascinated by the fish and turtle. We would recommend the local palacete restaurant as it was in a quieter location and the food was very good. Land train very convenient to access the old town. On the whole a happy family holiday.

You need to stay here!

If I could give Helena and this villa more than 5 starts I would, it easily deserves 10! Helena is absolutely the best host I have ever had. The villa is in a great location - just a short walk to the beach, the old town and the strip. Everything about it is charming from the sunsets on the rooftop patio to fresh lemons off of the lemon tree. I truly hope to stay there again someday.

Great villa close to restaurants, old town and strip

Really lovely 3 bedroom villa, loads of space and everything you need. Really clean and well maintained. Children loved to feed the fish and turtle in the courtyard too. Villa is right on a roundabout but has a drive so you can park a car. It is on a roadside which does have some noise but when in the garden it is only the double decker bus that can see in! Only issue is the cold swimming pool, which in April was just too cold for us. The mini pool did get warm about 3pm - which was great. Would recommend!

Quintessential Portuguese Home

There are many reasons to rave about the home and the experience. The home is immaculate, the home is supplied with everything you need on a holiday. The layout of rooms the charm and warmth of the home. The home is centrally located and is easy to explore, enjoy the beach, walk to many fine restaurants. a quick cab ride to the train station will take you almost anywhere you would like to side visit while in Portugal. Our host was amazing! Greeted us upon arrival, small gifts of wine and crackers to enjoy after a long journey. Showed us the home and how to contact her. She arranged for transportation for us and was present for a warm send-off. We have rented many places around the world and this was the best host we have ever had. Our offseason to visit the Algarve region was perfect for us and our Host was extremely warm and helpful. We would highly recommend this as a holiday rental especially if your goal is not to have to drive anywhere and you want the ability to walk down the street for a bite to eat, a small market, or walk to the large grocery store.

This is a very personal and charming house with all the amenities and a very interesting layout. Large living room and outdoor atrium in the middle of the house with a turtle and fish in a small pond. We were very happy with the personal touch that the family had put on the decor and everything we needed. The host was very helpful and service-minded and deserves all the praise a host can get

The house is exactly as described in the offer: a spacious and very cosy house around a beautiful patio (with a turtle and fishes in a basin). All on very high standard and in perfect shape. We liked the modern bathrooms, the good beds and all the nice furniture and typical Portuguese architectural elements, which make you feel very comfortable from day one and let you forget being in a holiday house. Kitchen has all of equipment you can imagine, including modern oven and induction field, dishwasher, big fridge and plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans. We also enjoyed the nice barbecue area. The house and the pool are very clean. We had weekly cleaning and towel renewal (including pool/beach towels) without extra charge and regular pool cleaning. Never had such a clean house before. The best of all without any doubt is Helena as the host. We never had such a caring host in a holiday house before, starting from the welcoming all though the handover at the end. Whatever it is: Helena will respond within minutes when contacted and finds a solution. She is at hand with good recommendations, and is such a friendly and supportive woman. Thanks very much for this!What everybody should have in mind when choosing Albufeira for holiday: it’s not a quiet place (a matter of the place as such, not the house), so you will need to bear with some noise when being there. The sleeping rooms and the patio however are quiet places, so sleep and relaxing times are not at risk.

Unbelievable stay at this Villa. Had everything we needed and wanted as a group of friends. Helena was the best host we could ask for and it all added up to be one of the best and most memorable holidays we’ve ever had. Great location, great surroundings and fantastic place to relax, have fun in the pool, and come back home to after a night out. Would recommend and would definitely stay again

Portuguese Perfection!

We were three couples, all aged mid-seventies, travelling to Portugal for the first time. Our stay at Helena’s villa could not have been more perfect. The home was a mixture of old world construction with updated bathrooms and kitchen. It was situated within a 30 minute walk from Old Albufeira as well as “The Strip” where one could find many bars, shops and restaurants. The kitchen had everything you needed to make a meal, the beds were comfortable and the whole villa was spotless. Helena was the perfect host spending time to show us around and tell us about things to do in the area. I would definitely book this property again.

The main sitting area could have done with means of heating.Other than that we found the area relaxing and the choice of local restaurants execellent.The listing should make it clear that the nearby restaurant Tres Palmeiras had been closed for a number of years.

We had a lovely stay at this property. The location was really convenient and within walking distance of both the old town and beaches. The property was immaculate and had everything we needed, with lots of different places to hang out together. Helena was very accommodating and helped us out with any request and let us have a later check out as there were no other guests arriving that day. Thanks for a lovely stay.

The location is great, a 10 minute walk at most to the new town strip, old town is about 15 minutes but only 4 euros in an Uber. It has a lovely pool area, and a great roof top terrace.

Large, comfortable, well-stocked with amenities

The property was very well represented in the photos and felt larger and more open than expected. It is in a very central location between Old and new Albufeira with a short walk to the beach. The house is well stocked with amenities, feels updated and well cared for, and perfect for a summer holiday stay. The host was very communicative and helpful. I would highly recommend and return if I were to vacation there again. There is some noise at night so not the quietest spot, but a lovely stay overall.
